Spanish government expands transgender practices to children as young as 12 (AP)

Under the new law, “all Spanish nationals above 16 will be able to change their gender and name by simply stating their desire to do so twice within a period of four months … Teenagers between 14 and 16 will be able to apply for these changes with parental permission or by going to a judge if there is disagreement among them. A court’s involvement is mandatory in applications for those between 12 and 14.”
